Between the Lathe & Jointer I seem to fill up my Jet DC-1200 every 2-3 weeks. So far I have used it as mulch in my backyard and for some friends. But now I have run out of room to mulch & just filled another bag.

I would love to make fire bricks for the local Boy Scout Troop but have no clue how to do that. Maybe a mixture of gasoline, orange juice, and wood shavings would make something interesting ;)

What does he do with it on his horse farm?? There are lots of them around where I live. I know a couple of my boys classmates have horses on their acreages that came with their million dollar mansions. As opposed to my 15 square foot backyard that came with my significantly less expensive home.

I use them to control the weeds between the raised gardens in the back yard. If/when weeds do appear they are dead easy to pull from the sawdust as it is not a real good structural support for the plants, so it makes weeding the paths easy and it also aids in water retention in the soil. I am thinking of putting it between the planted rows as well for the same reasons…I am a bit concerned that it may reduce the nitrogen content of the soil over time, but I think a bit of ‘aged’ cow manure should alleviate any nitrogen deficiencies.

Of course if I use any walnut I’ll have to reconsider its use in the vegetable garden as weed control as the chemical content of walnut that dakremer was referring to is also harmful to plants.
